Luxury Lanzarote Holidays

Overview

Travel Gems

Local Market
Every Wednesday and Saturday, from 9am to 2pm, the Marina Rubicon Market takes place in Playa Blanca. The market showcases a colourful variety of stalls selling authentic island specialities and souvenirs, together with a thriving social scene, including live music and dance.

Rejuvenate
Our featured hotel, Princess Yaiza Suite Resort’s signature Thalasso Spa is located a short distance from the main hotel building and is Lanzarote’s go-to destination for rejuvinating, relaxing and replenishing treatments. The spa offers the ultimate indulgence treatments including the volcanic stone massage, inspired by the island’s volcanic geology, and the Family Spa Day Package, which promotes health and wellbeing for all ages.

Climate

Although belonging to Spain , the Canary Islands are actually closer to the African coastline and this means that Lanzarote enjoys mild temperatures year-round. It is a particularly popular winter sun destination, as the island boasts the lowest temperature difference between summer and winter in the world. Summer temperatures bring the hottest days, when hot, dry air is blown over to the island from the Sahara Desert – however, by the time it crosses the Atlantic Ocean it has been somewhat cooled. There may also be some fog and cloud cover during the summer, but temperatures near sea level generally remain warm. On the north shores there tends to be more wind and rainfall, while the south shores tend to be drier. In the winter there may be short periods of stormy weather and rain. For those who like to swim in the sea, the Atlantic Ocean waters remain quite cool year-round.

Please contact the relevant Embassy for the county you are travelling to for further information.

Visa and Advance Passenger Information

All passengers must ensure they have a valid, acceptable passport, any required visa and any other documentation for both the final destination and any stop-off points en route. Please make sure that Advance Passenger Information is submitted in advance to travel for all destinations. Failure to hold correct documentation or submitting incorrect details with Advance Passenger Information or Visa applications may result in refusal of carriage or entry into a country.

Health

Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide and you should take health advice about your specific needs from your general practitioner or a specialist clinic as early as possible before travel. Those planning to become pregnant should discuss their travel plans with their healthcare provider to assess their risk of infection with Zika. For information about Zika, other mosquito-borne diseases (such as Dengue fever and Chikungunya), Lyme Disease (caused by tick bites), and to receive advice on mosquito bite avoidance measures, please visit Insect and tick bite avoidance. In addition, we highly recommend that you seek specialist advice from your doctor and, where recommended, obtain vaccinations or tablets for protection against, for example: Malaria, Hepatitis A, Polio and Typhoid. In some cases, treatments for Malaria should begin well in advance of travel. Travellers may also be required to show Yellow Fever Certificates on arrival in certain destinations i.e, some African countries. Please note that you are strongly advised against scuba-diving for 24 hours before travelling by air. We would also like to draw your attention to the risk of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and recommend that you consult with your doctor before travelling.
